Since the Houston area has such high humidity, sweating is my concern. I may try running the lines in a plastic pipe as was suggested. This may help direct condensation where needed, and help protect the lines from damage.

Thanks to all you for sharing your insights. I’ll run the pipes inside too.

I’m just finishing R-19 insulation on the walls of my barn / shop, and am going to install a mini-split soon. I wanted to run the lines inside behind the insulation, but a friend advised that outside would be better because of possible condensation issues. Just trying to get a little cleaner...

Let me clarify....The source of the power is a box with 2 light switches. One switch controls the garage light, and the other controls a spot light for the driveway. Each of them is a 3 way switch. Thanks !

Thanks. I’d like add AC, but I only have bare studs and no ceiling, so Looks like I need to manage that first.

Did you need to do insulation too?

Thanks guys! I'll have another go at it with your insights in mind. Your comments are very much appreciated!

I installed an 120V outlet in my garage and pulled power from the light switch box above it. There are 2 switches and both are connected to another switch that controls the same light. White wire on one side, black wire on the other, and a ground wire. It seems like the voltage is only 1/2 of...

Thanks to all for sharing your thought and experiences. I’m going to think about insulation and adding some sort of ceiling before adding A/C

I recently built a 26x36x10 pole barn with wood siding and OSB underneath. No insulation or ceiling either. Roof pitch is 6/12. My part of Texas is hot and humid, so a mini split A/C would be great. So, I thought about adding a 36000 btu unit, but I wonder about its effectiveness. Spending the...

Most of what I want store are 2x and 1x material of various lengths. Thanks very much for the suggestions. I'm going to consider all of these options.

Now that my barn / shop is built I need to start organizing. The first step is to get the wood off the floor. Since the construction is 6x6" post & beam with 2x6 bookshelf girts, I have to come up with a different method to mount brackets for 8 foot long wood than I use for my stick built...

Thanks for the help. I'll put the lights in different fixtures and see what happens.

I have had LED flood lights in the ceiling of our family room for over 2 years. Recently, one started blinking rapidly not long after being turned on. Now 3 others are doing the same thing, but very sporadically. I removed the first light and examined the contacts for the bulb and fixture, and...

The Mr. Cool website shows the 12,000 btu handles up to 500 sqft, and the 18,000 btu up to 750 sqft.
